This weekend was jammed packed with blogger festivities. On Friday night I attended the Fashion First runway show. Bailey from Hot Dress Hot Mess was kind enough to extend the invite.

Fashion First is the longest running and largest independent fashion show in Seattle. This year was it’s 12th year, so the theme was 12th Year/12th Man, a nod to the Seahawk’s recent run of form. The runway show benefited the Inspired Youth Project and the Crescent Moon Foundation. The event raised a little over $100,000. It was pretty incredible seeing the community come together for a good cause while indulging in our love of Fashion. I’m excited to attend next year’s event.

Bailey is such a sweetheart and her dress was stunning and fit her like a glove. Here’s a pic from the night. My highlight of the night was getting to know Bailey, meeting Olga from Explore Your Bliss, and Madeleine from Seattle Stylista. They are such sweet girls and were a blast to hang out with. I also got to meet Britney from Pumps and Plaid, Jenn from Hello Rigby, Aika from Aika’s Love Closet, and the sweet Tina from Just a Tina Bit. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to shoot my outfit for the event but you can check out photos from it on my Instagram.

On Saturday, I meet up with Juilanna from Blush & Camo. This was our first time meeting. We immediately hit it off and chatted for several hours over lunch. She is such a doll and absolutely gorgeous and smart! I can’t wait for our next hangout. Here’s a photo from our meetup.

Now let’s talk about this dress. I love the silhouette and print. I got this dress a few years back and wore it to a wedding and unintentionally matched the wedding party. Oops! Pairing it with coral accessories was a no-brainer and I loved the final look. The cork material and coral cap on these flats are such a delight and very Kate Spade. I really should wear them more often. They can go with a lot of things and are fairly comfortable.

      Thanks Mil. You’re the best!
      No worries, it was good for me to go by myself. I’m sure there will be other events in the future where I won’t have someone to go with, and I’ll have to be a big girl and just go. I however, wish you could have gone. You would have loved it. Maybe we can go together next year.

    This dress is a classic! I love it! Ps. I don’t know why but I stop receiving your post notifications since your last post on Flutter Skirt in my WordPress App. I’m not having this issue with others that I’m following. Maybe it’s just me…..

      Thanks Kally. You’re so sweet.

      I recently upgraded my blog to self hosted, that may be the reason you stop receiving notifications. I haven’t experienced this (I follow myself), and other people I interact with still seem to have my blog in their reader. Glad you were able to figure out.
